Türkiye – Resilient Pilot delivered the inaugural IE standardisation in facilitation program with Türkiye’s largest low-cost airline for over 130 of its Instructor Evaluators (IEs).

The programme aims to boost the IATA and recently adopted European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ORO.FC.146 Evidence-Based Training (EBT) IE Competencies 3.0 (Instruction) IEC 4.0 (Interaction with Trainees) with a particular focus on enhancing effective facilitation of the five non-tech pilot competencies, ultimately driving an increase in resilience for all pilots.

The training programme, which will run for 12 months, will focus on three distinct phases and see Resilient Pilot deliver:

• Virtual, face-to-face onboarding for IEs to enhance their understanding of the purpose, mission, and learning objectives of the programme
• Provide access to Resilience Deck, Resilient Pilot’s proprietary in-your-pocket CBTA Development Co-pilot App, which enables 24/7 development of pilot competencies and Observable Behaviours (OBs)
• Deliver two days of classroom-based and IPT device interactive training for all IEs at Pegasus Airlines head office in Istanbul
• Conduct sample observations of IEs delivering LOFT sessions, focussing on facilitation and implementation of the iOBs
• Proving ongoing support to Pegasus Airlines’ IE community through virtual coaching

Commenting on Resilient Pilot’s partnership with Pegasus Airline’s, Founder and CEO of Resilient Pilot, Stuart Beech said: “Pegasus Airlines is leading the way in embracing CBTA/EBT and we are delighted to work with them to achieve their training objectives. We have developed a bespoke programme that starts with developing their IEs, ensuring they understand the required pilot competencies and OBs needed on the flight deck. The package is a hybrid combination of distance learning and face-to-face interactive training, all underpinned by Resilience Deck, the world’s first app for pilot competencies and human factors.

“The team at Pegasus Airlines have already shown huge enthusiasm for achieving training excellence, and we’re looking forward to working with them over the coming year.”
